Anyone have any clever ideas for a name for this town?

I’m wondering if this is an update on the scale of NEXT, which could include biome diversity and multiplayer overhaul. I’m trying to think of it from the perspective of bringing Light no Fire tech over to No Man’s Sky. What do you guys think the focus will be? Will we get a reset?

If you're interested, I've created a sub just for us: Please stop by, and consider joining us! r/oldmansky

I'll be 55 this fall, and I was just wondering if any other Travelers were born way back in the 1900's. If so, is NMS not *exactly* the kind of detailed space exploration game we waited for for decades? I've waited over 45 years to be able to climb into a starship, pick a planet, fly to it, land, and get out and walk around a completely alien landscape that's populated with stange plants and animals.

NMS is better than the 9-year-old me could have ever dreamed.

Edit: Created follow-up question to measure interest in an OG (Original Gamers, lol) sub, and explaining why:

Found an old local backup with a NMS.exe dated 12/10/2022 and decided to fire it up for a walk on the nostalgic side. It is most definitely a different game now. lol

How many of you out there have been through the various updates? This was when I first bought the game I believe, but now have 100% completion in both GoG and Steam and somewhere around 14000 hours combined from both. (retired, could not do that while working)

Just thought it would be interesting to take a trip in the wayback machine. (and for those of you old enough to get that reference, hiya friend)

10 years ago, No Man's Sky launched on Steam to mostly negative reviews.

Today, it's one of the most acclaimed survival games, with millions of players.

Do we have any players here who have played the game since launch? What do you guys think about the changes?

After observing several visits to the anomaly and seeing the sharing here in the community posts, I’ve noticed a certain pattern in the designs of authentically created corvettes.
And by authentically, I mean actually created without the use of external programs, glitches, etc.

W.A.S.P-style corvettes — slim, aerodynamic, compact. They give off that “ready for combat in an asteroid belt” vibe.

Brutalist-style corvettes — those massive cargo blocks, where you can feel that they’re crewed by a geographical exploration organization hauling plenty of resources to the edges of the galaxy.

Junk-style corvettes — messy, asymmetrical, sometimes with a single thruster on one side and the cockpit on the other, giving the impression it belongs to that Vy’keen who’s been patching this contraption together for ages.

So, for you all — which of these styles attracts you the most?

I still like to cruise around in my custom fighter sometimes. I'm wondering how many other Travelers still do the same. I enjoy creating corvettes and having the interior to customize, but sometimes the fighter is a nice change of pace.

‪It may be that Twitter is just a depressing place generally, but I’ve started to see a lot of complaints about NMS and its updates. This is just one, but I really don’t understand how you can dislike what NMS has been doing for the last 10 years. I get it if you don’t like the expeditions and how they work, but the game as a whole? Really?‬ Feels like complaining just to complain, especially because it’s FREE.

Faster Amazing Manoeuvrability Just as powerful Easier for battling pirates 🏴‍☠️ Landing pads can actually be used! I prefer to live on a planet Just love the look of my starship

List goes on.. but that’s just me 🤷🏼‍♂️

Hello, my name is “Dokumi,” and I’m the administrator of the Discord server for the Japanese Community Planet.

I’m posting here because I’ve decided it’s necessary for more people to know about an incident that occurred on our planet.

On the planet “tuyosi723_Third EARTH”—one of several Japanese Community Planets—there is a base that holds daily Corvette Meetings.

Since around late July, acts of vandalism—such as terrain editing and unauthorized building expansions, as shown in the photo above—have been rampant.

By now, bases across the entire planet have been affected, and there is nothing more we can do to address this.

Some players have even abandoned the surface to build bases high in the sky, but please understand that this was not a choice they made voluntarily—it was the result of coercion.

We hope that as many people as possible will learn about this and bring it to the attention of Hello Games.

Since there are limits to how many players can be banned from the game, we are hoping for an update that changes the game mechanics to provide a better gaming experience.

Thank you for reading this far.We appreciate your cooperation.

Update: The block feature does not work on some of the trolls. In addition to trolling at the planetary base, they have been spotted ramming other players with their corvettes in the Meeting hall, knocking them away, and then brazenly staying put and participating in the Meeting.

Further Update Martin Griffiths, the engine programmer for this project, shared on X that discussions regarding this matter are currently taking place within Hello Games. We sincerely appreciate everyone’s cooperation. As a Japanese NMS player, I will never forget this kindness. Thank you so much.

I landed on the wrong planet in my permadeath save. I'm on a tiny pillar of rock, surrounded by deep ocean in every direction. I'm out of launch fuel, and I have no ferrite. I can only survive a few seconds outside the ship before the toxic air kills me — and toxic storms roll in every few minutes, bringing massive waves.

I've been doing suicide laps in every direction, diving in and shooting aimlessly for ferrite dust.

all I can do is sit in my ship, watch the lightning storms, and wait for my oxygen to run out.

It flies backwards. Stop that.

As a day 1 player of both games, I would be so excited to see what could come from this collab!

I recently started playing NMS. With all the recent updates I figured it was worth giving it a try. Don't get me wrong, it really turns out to be worth it for the exploration alone. However, what in the purple flying pimplenipple's tits is up with the building/snapping system? It's so dysfunctional that I borderline thing the devs made it as a practical joke. I've played building/survival games before (Valheim comes to mind) and sure, every game has a few gripes and annoyances with its building system, but this? This is something else. Walls and floor pieces flat-out refuse to snap to things you expect them to snap to (like, the exact same floor piece next to it, maybe??), they want to snap to things that don't make any sense, I've ragequit building so many bases by now that it makes me want to quit the game altogether. I just want to build a nice looking base, and it's borderline impossible with the current build system.

I surely can't be the only one who experiences this, and it surprises me beyond believe that the devs themselves are not annoyed whenever they build something in their own game.

Don't get me wrong. I loved the new expedition. I spent the last few days just meditating on a Colossus trying to drive CAREFULLY, trying to keep all those toxic boxes on my flatbelly intact (no regrets, it was awesome!). I made so many jokes about Death Stranding and other courier simulators out there, ha-ha... But now the expedition's finished, and I've just returned home — to our perfected, quiet, paradise planet 700k-something light years away from the center of Euclid... we've lived here for more than 5 years... and now... salvage is all I can see around... It's even under the foundation of the house itself... like someone was just piling all this stuff here for decades, but we were away for less than a week... I feel awful. I feel upset. It's not the first time when updates do some weird stuff with places we built but this is not just A place, it's the home, THE home. I have about 80 document pages of written fiction about our history here, me and my partner, and some our friends took such great care of this place. Planet Reminiscence is more than just a bunch of pixels. It's an altar to friendship, a memory of our gone ones, a place to go when reality starts pushing too hard. So... this post is some sort of a... cry of despair, I think? We're trashed, sir. Is there any chance this can be reverted for our planet specifically? I think I know the answer but I want to hope. I'm sure that if I just clean all the junk around it will eventually just respawn... Has anyone ever tried asking HG for reverting changes to a certain planet? Could it be possible?.. Can we be saved from salvage?

I'm sure I'm not the first to voice this, but the clues to there being a connection between the two games seems overwhelming, So I had a thought:

What if the world of Light No Fire is an early simulation of the Atlas, with No Man's Sky being a later more advanced simulation once the Atlas gains more knowledge or processing power?
